He who tries to protect himself from deception is often cheated, even when most on his guard.

To snatch the worm from the trap.

Good courage in a bad affair is half of the evil overcome.

That man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one.

How great in number are the little minded men

I esteem death a trifle, if not caused by guilt.

I seek the utmost pleasure and the least pain.
